1 edit | Update Well I downloaded and installed both spyware blaster, and spywareguard; I aslo downloaded and installed the critical updates from Microsoft, had like 25 of them installed and took me a good 5 hours to do so with this lovely connection.
Im also using the FireFox browser now. I've still got to download the SP2 but its too big of a file to download. Best thing to do it probably leave my pc on over night doing so.
Should I tweak my OS to stop running applications not necessary for typical home users? I mean, my pc is really really stable as it is now. I have no problem, runs smooth as it is. I got 1gb memory and the fx-51 processor. |

3 edits | Yes i would use that safexp and stop them from start up..one nice thing about it is that you can one check make it all happen in the application or take the check out to reverse it.
For the SP2 don't dowmload it..get free CD from Microsoft..even some of your computer stores give it away for free..ask them.
But read first on what to do before you install this.

Hey, Name Game, I've seen you mention SafeXP before and at your suggestion I tried it a few weeks ago.
The thing that stood out for me (other than that it did not include the lockdown features I hoped vis a vis installation of executables, etc.) was that I couldn't immediately find a way to protect its settings. In other words, it seemed that anyone with access to the SafeXP executable could trivially reverse or alter any settings made by the administrator. Did I miss something?
